STAN BECTON | NCAA.COM | APRIL 4, 2023
As spring ball wraps up around the country, let's take an early look at the top returning FCS quarterbacks in 2023. This list only includes quarterbacks returning to their teams this fall, meaning no transfers or incoming freshmen are included.
That said, let's get into the rankings.
1. Michael Hiers | Samford
Michael Hiers finished the 2022 season as the clear third-best quarterback in the FCS, only behind two Walter Payton Award finalists. He's an excellent passer with the mobility to extend plays with his legs when necessary. Hiers also showed heart during Samford's playoff run, battling through injury to try and lead the Bulldogs to a win. All of that has Hiers entering the year as the top quarterback in the FCS.
8. Tyler Huff | Furman
In last year's playoff game, Tyler Huff and Furman went toe-to-toe with the nation's most explosive offense, UIW. Huff returns in 2023 to lead a Paladin team that should be one of the favorites in the SoCon this year.
